This study was designed to test the power of personality, engagement with leisure activities, and professional support, in order to predict susceptibility to professional burnout among Catholic priests in Portugal. Data provided by 208 priests who completed both the Francis Psychological Type and Emotional Temperament Scales and the Francis Burnout Inventory demonstrated that reported levels of burnout were significantly lower among stable extraverts and among those who engaged more frequently with leisure activities, while no further predictive power was associated with engaging a discipler or mentor. These findings carry implications for the pastoral care and pastoral oversight of priests.
本研究旨在测试个性、参与休闲活动的程度以及专业支持的影响力,以预测葡萄牙天主教神父职业倦怠的易感性。208名神父提供的数据表明,完成弗朗西斯心理类型与情绪气质量表以及弗朗西斯倦怠量表的神父中,稳定外向者和更频繁参与休闲活动的神父报告的倦怠水平显著较低,而与有导师或指导者并无进一步的预测关联。这些发现对神父的教牧关怀和教牧监督具有启示意义。
